The presence of nature
a study in phenomenology and environmental philosophy /[electronic resource] :by Simon P. James. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,c2009. - viii, 167 p. ;22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Our Place in Nature -- Animal Minds -- Nature's Value, and Other Obsessions -- Why Conserve Nature? -- Beyond the Human.
What is 'nature'? In what sense are humans parts of it? And why, if at all, should we strive to conserve it? Environmental issues raise a host of fascinating philosophical questions. Yet all too often these questions are tackled in an overly abstract way, one that fails to accountfor what it is like to experience the natural world. The Presence of Nature takes a different approach. Drawing on the philosophical tradition of phenomenology as well as a number of literary sources, Simon Jamestakes a refreshingly new perspective on a range of topics, including animal consciousness, the moralimperative to conserve nature and the view that the natural world exists independently of human concerns. In sodoing, he develops an original approach to environmental philosophy, one that takes seriously the various ways we encounter the natural worldin the living of our lives.
